An Off Grid Life

Weekend reads

Good morning on Saturday.

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, this is a crazy time.

And now is the time to become more self-reliant, no matter where you live.

Maybe that means learning how to forage spring greens, start that backyard chicken flock, or get serious about your dreams of moving off the grid.

Here are this weekend's reads. Grab a coffee and enjoy.
